In this brand-new adaptation, directed by Savion Glover and Tony Goldwyn, Joey Evans is a Black jazz singer in the 1940s struggling to make it big his way, with his sound, on Chicago’s vibrant nightclub circuit. This Rodgers and Hart classic incorporates additional beloved tunes from the duo’s songbook, as well as an updated book by Richard LaGravenese and Daniel “Koa” Beaty.
Led by Loretta Devine (Dreamgirls) as the newly scripted character Lucille, Aisha Jackson (Once Upon a One More Time) as Linda, Elizabeth Stanley (Jagged Little Pill) as Vera, and Ephraim Sykes (Ain’t Too Proud) as Joey, the cast features an ensemble of dance talents including tap queen Dormeshia and Savion Glover himself. An essential role in the storytelling of this adaptation, Glover’s bold dance stagings illustrate the cultural vitality of Joey’s musical artistry and heritage.
If Joey Evans was already difficult to root for in 1940, what hope is there for him in 2023? But it’s this very question that fuels the vision of co-directors Savion Glover and Tony Goldwyn.
